4. Trucks come in many different configurations. Reese hitches are designed for use in light trucks such as the Ford F-
Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. Reese recommends the use of long bed (8ft) light trucks for the best
combination in truck - trailer turning clearance.
Rule of thumb: The distance from the back of the truck cab to the center of the rear truck axle ("X" in Fig. 3), should be
approximately 4 inches greater than one-half the trailer width ("Y" in Fig.3)

5. If a short bed pickup (less than 8 ft. but longer than 5 ft. 6 in.) is to be used for towing, Reese recommends the trailer be
equipped with an extended pin box to help gain additional truck - trailer turning clearance (See trailer manufacturer for
options) (See Fig. 4). It also may be helpful to add a Reese Slider for increased turning clearance for low speed, non-
highway maneuvering (See

Conventional Pin Box
DO NOT install this fifth wheel hitch on or attempt to tow with a short bed pickup truck that has a bed shorter
than 5 ft. 6 in.! Special mounting systems and careful trailer assessments are critical!
6. The height of the hitch and the pin box should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow
approximately 6 inches clearance between the top of the pickup walls and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch
and roll of the trailer. (See Fig. 5). Allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer for off road use.
